I have an AccountAuthenticator and its associated SyncService that work when I test using Dev Tools -> Sync Tester on the emulator. I also have preferences that work on the Account screen.
However, I was not able to figure out how to get my synchronization service, indicated in the "Data and Sync" section of the account page. (There's a screenshot of this area below: http://www.c99.org/2010/01/23/writing-an-android-sync-provider-part-1/ )
So, for example, if I synchronized contacts, I would suggest that you have the option to set "Synchronize contacts." How to achieve this for my custom data model / sync service?
